That's no moon... It's been raining here a lot lately, and we have a mushroom that has now grown to roughly the size of a cantaloupe. If it keeps growing it will be the size of a soccer ball in a day or two. 🌕

Photo of a large, white spherical mushroom growing in mulch. It has several divots and craters that look vaguely moon-like.

@analogfusion.bsky.social - A certain famous almanac that's been around for a couple hundred years produced a "first frost" graphic that was used by one of the news outlets. Looks like they may need some geography help. 🧐

In this map, VT (Vermont) is pointing to New Hampshire. The actual state of Vermont is to the left and not labeled. Nowhere is there a NH (New Hampshire) reference. Disappointing.

I guess it shouldn't surprise me that I have too many cameras and too much film. And too many albums. CDs. Guitars. While cleaning in the basement last weekend I found my French homework from 9th grade. Which was about 40 years ago. 😂🤦‍♂️ #packrat #accumulateur

I'd lived in (suburban) NY for 2 years 25 years ago. The memory of it is usually in the distance. It's a very big memory, so it looms large, but on days other than today it's now further away than it once was. But rest assured it remains. Portra 800 / Canon EOS-1n / 28mm / 2019 #believeinfilm

One WTC as seen from in front of the Village Vanguard in summer 2019. This was through a wide lens, so the tower looks further away that it would have to the naked eye.

A week or two back I was blaming Sandeep and @panamstyle.bsky.social for forcing (!) me to add a whole other camera system (Olympus OM) to my collection. What does PanAm do this week? Sends me this to make (!) me start ANOTHER system. He's either incredibly generous, or incredibly evil. 😈😉 (both)

For Throwback Thursday... Made the image on the left on expired Ektachrome 100S for SummerFilmParty 2017. Last October when visiting Gloucester, I saw an old friend! Couldn't replicate the shot due to barriers, but here's the Santo Pio still doing her thing 8 years later. #believeinfilm

Black and white image of a river flowing through what was once a large mill pond until a storm broke the dam in 2024 and emptied it. There is fierce debate about whether to rebuild the dam or let the river go back to its natural tidal estuary state. The land is owned by Suffolk County and they intend to rebuild the pond, but the matter is not yet settled.

Ours is a hobby than can bring its share of disappointment. One of the two rolls I shot that day is ruined. Massive light leaks (not the tolerable kind). The only thing I can figure is that I somehow didn't fully close the back. Very odd. The other roll, thankfully, looks fine and is drying. 🤷‍♂️
